Employee benefits are special additional benefits that companies offer their employees, often in cooperation with external providers. They go beyond the traditional salary and are intended to make the workplace more attractive, promote motivation, and strengthen loyalty to the company. These include, for example, discounts on products or services in areas such as technology, travel, fashion, sports, or health—offers that have a direct impact on everyday life and well-being.
These benefits are not only a sign of appreciation for the team, but also a clear advantage in the competition for talent. Especially in times when flexible working models, purpose, and corporate culture are becoming increasingly important, targeted employee benefits can be a real differentiator.
Typical benefits include:
- Discounts at gyms or wellness facilities
- Meal subsidies or meal allowances
- Mobility subsidies, such as for job tickets, bicycle leasing, or fuel vouchers
- Company pension plans and health promotion
- Childcare subsidies or additional vacation days
- Gift cards for flexible, individual use
Many of these benefits can be implemented with tax advantages or even tax-free. Frequently used regulations include:
- Non-cash benefits up to 50 euros per month, tax-free when used for a specific purpose via certified voucher systems
- Non-cash gifts up to 60 euros per employee for a special occasion
- Company health promotion up to 600 euros per employee per year, tax-free
- Bicycle leasing with tax benefits for private use via salary conversion
It is crucial that the offers are tailored to the employees' life situations and can be selected as individually as possible. The better the benefits are tailored to personal interests, the higher their perceived value. With a broad, flexible portfolio, such as that offered by HelloBonnie, companies and employees alike benefit.
